"We might even find an opportunity to join forces with the other two factions and eliminate them!"
Hong Fu, with a sinister smile, revealed his malicious plan.
Tu Longâs eyes brightened slightly: "Youâre right. This big piece of fat meat, how could Li Yuefeng and Wu Meng just stand by and watch?"
"Even if Wu Meng doesnât care, his wife Zhuang Shuyuan definitely wonât stand idly by. Their Water-Repelling Rune all depend on Superpower Stones for production."
Hong Fu nodded: "Li Yuefeng also needs a large number of Talisman Stones over there. Iâve heard that although they havenât developed Bursting Rune and Water-Repelling Rune, theyâve developed another kind of Rune Technology that theyâve kept secret."
"They would never allow the mine to be occupied by someone named Liang. As long as we contact them both, they certainly wonât stand by and do nothing!"
Tu Long thought for a moment and immediately said: "Letâs do it, Iâll send someone to contact them right away."
Hong Fu shook his head: "The sea tide is near; now is not the time. Wait until the tide passes, and then weâll have plenty of time to deal with the Liang family."
Hearing this, Tu Long looked at the rising floodwaters and also stopped, nodding: "Youâre right, letâs get through this tide first."
"Tomorrow is the tide, right?"
"Yes, tomorrow night."
"Then letâs do it this way. Let the people below quickly come to get food. After this tide, we not only have to deal with the Liang family but also solve the food problem. I canât do it alone."
Hong Fu nodded: "Donât worry, I have a plan."
"What plan?"
"Recently, our people found some mutated sweet potatoes in the mountains. If we can transplant and grow them on a large scale, it will definitely meet the carbohydrate intake!"
"Mutated sweet potatoes? Are they Mutated Fruits? Can eating them awaken superpowers?"
Hong Fu shook his head: "Our people have tried. Theyâve only mutated in yield and growth characteristics but do not have the power to awaken superpowers. They cannot be considered Mutated Fruits."
Tu Long was a bit disappointed. "Our shelter still lacks superpower users; we have to find a way to cultivate more."
Hong Fu nodded: "If necessary, next time you go out, try to recruit some good superpower users from outside and bring them up the mountain."
Tu Long nodded: "Okay."
...
At the Martial King Pavilion, Zhuang Shuyuan looked at the formaldehyde-smelling wooden furniture in the cave, feeling a pang of sadness.
If it were before, she wouldnât have minded this much.
But upon hearing that the Liang family had wooden floors, Sealy mattresses, televisions, and other items, she couldnât help but miss her life in the villa.
"Damn floods..."
She sighed, glanced at Wu Meng, who was studying runes in the cave, and left on her own, heading to the Martial King Pavilion.
Compared to the stuffy and damp cave, she preferred the environment of the wooden structure pavilion.
"Who knows when that Liang fellow will hold a trade fair, and whether it will have what I need."
She was a bit anxious. She could endure the lack of gourmet food, but she really didnât want to put up with the living conditions.
Before the flood, she had a bit of a hygiene obsession.
After the flood, her so-called obsession had been forcibly cured by life.
But now that times were a bit better, this obsession was resurfacing.
"Sister Zhuang! Sister Zhuang!"
Outside, Yue Yaweiâs anxious voice rang out.
Zhuang Shuyuan couldnât help frowning. She heard hurried footsteps; it wasnât just Yue Yawei but seemed like others as well.
"Come in," she said.
Yue Yawei opened the door and entered, followed by Li Yuejin, Yuan Rui, Bai Zhirui, Gao Jie, and other superpower users!
Zhuang Shuyuanâs expression changed slightly. She knew something significant must have happened; otherwise, everyone wouldnât have come together.
Before she could ask, Yue Yawei urgently said: "Sister Zhuang, somethingâs happened."
Zhuang Shuyuan asked solemnly: "What happened?"
Yue Yawei quickly said: "Tian Wei is dead!"
"Tian Wei?"
Zhuang Shuyuan was stunned for a moment, then widened her eyes in shock: "Tian Wei!"
Yue Yawei nodded: "Yes, the head of the mine, that lunatic Tian Wei. He was killed!"
Zhuang Shuyuan hurriedly asked: "Who killed him?"
"Liang Yuan!"
"Hmm?" Zhuang Shuyuan was astonished again, doubting her own ears. "Who?" she asked.
"Liang Yuan! The one from the Fire Bamboo Forest, Liang Yuan, who just brought people up the mountain!"
Yue Yawei spoke quickly: "When we first got the news, we couldnât believe it either."
"But then our brothers who went to buy superpower stones came back and got the news from the mine slaves over there. Tian Wei was indeed killed by Liang Yuan."
Zhuang Shuyuan still hadnât fully processed it. She absorbed the information with difficulty and quickly asked: "What about Liang Yuan? Is he dead?"
In her memory, Tian Wei was very strong!
Only Wu Meng, with his Flesh and Blood Growth superpower, unafraid of injuries, could stand against Tian Wei.
From Wu Mengâs evaluation, Liang Yuan had decent abilities but lacked the explosiveness to reach the top ranks of superpower users.
For someone like him to kill Tian Wei, he would have paid a huge price himself.
Yue Yawei quickly said: "Liang Yuan is fine. The mine slaves said he was unscathed and has already taken over the mine. The mine is now his territory."
"Teacher Li said this matter must be reported to you and Brother Meng immediately."
Li Yuejin spoke up: "Miss Zhuang, where is Brother Meng?"
Zhuang Shuyuan finally collected herself. She took a deep breath and suppressed her shock. "Wait for me, Iâll get Brother Meng."
